Title:

The Tree of Life from the Stoclet Frieze

Notes:

Revelation 22:2 -- "On either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations." -- Gustav Klimt designed a frieze combining mosaic with painted sections for the dining-room of the Palais Stoclet in Brussels. It consists of 15 marble panels, 6 feet high, representing an abundantly spreading Tree of Life. In its branches swarm brightly colored birds and butterflies.
